How do I add a shortcut to the existing Keyboard Mapper in VirtualDJ 8

Go to SETTINGS -> CONTROLLERS tab

Choose the keyboard from the top-left side list (in case an additional MIDI device is available at that time). Make sure the factory default is selected from the Mapping drop-down list (or select a different one if the default is not the one that you wish to modify).

Click inside the Key learn to set the cursor in the box. Press the key from your keyboard that you wish to create a shortcut for. Each time you press a key, VirtualDJ will display the name for that key in the Key Learn box.

Type an appropriate action in the Action: box, e.g: effect_active or select an action from the list below. VirtualDJ will auto-fill with one of the available actions as you type.

Repeat the last 2 steps for all the Keys of your keyboard that you wish to add.

Once the custom mapping is completed (you can still edit the same mapping later of course), you can provide a name (optional) and save.

Once the factory default mapping is modified, VirtualDJ will automatically create a custom mapping file. Multiple custom mapping files can be created for the keyboard, but only one can be applied from the Mappings field.

Notes :

Custom mapping files can be deleted (using the x button), but not the factory default one. So, even if you have messed up with your custom one, you can always go back to the factory default and create a brand new custom one.
